GIKO, modernized and reconstructed ROV, using hydroelectric drive and telemetry produced by GIKO.

Preliminary tests of the regulations in the quarry were made.

This telecontrolled uninhabited underwater vehicle is a universal tool for working the heavy class at great depths. Multitasking is provided by a unified hydraulic system, interface and manipulator. Maneuverability allows with ease and strategic accuracy to occupy an advantageous position for working under water.

Develop a domestic picking robot "S-ROB"

23.10.2021

The Russian company GIKO in 2021 began to develop a domestic picking robot "S-ROB", which has positive buoyancy without load and can work at depths of up to 5000 m. For this purpose, the concept "SWARM" was developed, the purpose of which is to provide:

  • extraction of ferromanganese nodules with a productivity comparable to traditional methods;
  • non-invasive impact on the environment;
  • maximum redundancy (reliability).
